generalissimo: Whatever is not sold in KONGA or JUMIA where I have the option to pay on delivery, I would just assume it aint existing in the market while I'm still in the country. I hate to go thru this kinda situation where u wont have the luxury of punching the person u have issue with in the face.

After reading some comment here, I decide to go to any nearby cyber cafe and log on to paypal site and locate their resolution box. I have similar issue with OP. After openning paypal,ebay account and linking my card to paypal account. On 5 July, I bought Android Tablet from ebay seller who based in Thailand, on 7th July, I bought 600pcs colourful rainbow rubber loom band from ebay seller who based in China, on 8th July, I bought another Android Tablet from ebay seller who based in London. From my ebay and paypal account indicate that all these items were shipped. The seller from China sent me track number. I sent a request to the first seller via ebay, to send me track number. Within some minute ebay sent me indefinite suspension message and cancellation of all my transaction. The reason they give was that my recent activity has raised serious security concern. All this while I being trying to contact them but no avail, I mail paypal but their respond is not inline to my complaint. Today mark it 6days of my ordeal.

The first contact should be ebay, goto their resolution center, look for the link that deals with account suspension then you should see a call "now" button. when u click it, it will give u a unique code which u have to input when u call them or better still, call them on +18665403229. When they pick your call, the will ask for your username and the address u used in registering on ebay. Explain your ordeal to the agent and request the agent to direct you to a paypal representative. You should ensure you ask for paypal direct line from paypal rep so u can contact them directly.

Opening a dispute right from your paypal dashboard would save u stress. Just logon to paypal, click on the transaction you wanna open a dispute for, then proceed from there requesting for a cancellation from the merchant.

Cheers

You are now an expert adviser now on ebay/paypal Nigeria. Have you received your funds yet?

Lol.. I haven't but hope to get it soon since the payment has been reversed on my PayPal. It hasn't yet reflected on my credit card. Paypal said it might take 20 days. It took two days to get an alert from Gtb, so am hoping it won't take long

20 days Jeez. Next time if you will still want to use ebay/paypal in the future, I will advise you to first transfer funds from your mastercard to paypal. its easier this way to make quick payment or getting a refund. Goodluck

I can't remember my Nigeria account ID right now but once I do I will verify for you if it exists.

That feature is available on my US account.

I believe it is a business plan , we must understand thatt there is a slight difference between ebay and amazon. Amazon for now in nigeria is primarily a selling website which means ppl go there to buy but paypal offers more .the problem with paypal is they are still fashioning out a model for nigeria just like they did for kenya and india. Paypal sytem of operation in us and many other countries differ from each other. Once they have concluded the successful launch and right now I believe they are studying various complains from ppl and analysing it ,they will come up with a workable system for the nigerian market. It isn't easy and this takes time. Even western union had to devise a seperate method for the nigeria market

Well you have a good point there which means 9ja is unique

very very unique.let me give u an example, aviation . To get a license in ghana to operate take months but not years ,in nigeria it takes years and lots of lobbying. Secondly,most of the foreign airline opearating in nigeria wanted to shiftt their operations to ghana sometime a go ,so what they did was to charge high fares$ from nigeria to abroad or outside but charge lower in ghana for the same route all in order to divert passengers to ghana , but they were shocked that despite the exorbitant charges nigerian kept flying and didn't go to ghana,the fg intervened then if I am not mistaken. So what works in many countries may not or won't even work in nigeria. But believe me they will get It right, but till they do ppl in nigeria need to be very careful when using ebay and paypal and as much as possible they shouldn't tell the seller they are from nigeria or paying from nigeria . As much as possible always send items to an address in usa .pls this is not a law just my own personal opinion anyway

Yeah I understand your point but 9ja people should be careful to use ebay and PayPal. I only pity the early users like the op.

I think what happens is that most of them using paypal on ebay from nigeria always ask the seller to ship to nigeria, this automatically raises an alarm and some unscrupulous merchants may raise an alarm so that the order can be cancelled and money forfeited. Ppl using paypal should be careful. Look out for top rated seller and try to minimise the use of the word nigeria[just kidding]. But try and gett a usa address ,and make that address ur default shipping address,don't change it when u get to check out page only. How are u bro?

Some sellers in ebay are scammers and ebay do support them if the buyer is from Nigeria. My issue is a case study, if you read my 1st comment here you will know how I got suspended from ebay. After reading this post yesterday I open a dispute against three sellers whom I transact business with. The 2nd and 3rd persons respond to me in a mutual way, both sent me track number to track my item, even one of my item is in Lagos now yet to get to my destination, the other one still in transit. But the 1st seller did not respond to me, this is the person who cause my suspension at ebay- if you read my 1st comment you will know how. I have giving this person 24hrs to respond to me or else I will escalate the dispute.

sellers will always know you are buying from nigeria even if u enter a us address as shipping address, all he needs to do is to check your profile

miqos02: sellers will always know you are buying from nigeria even if u enter a us address as shipping address, all he needs to do is to check your profile

And then when they get caught circumnavigating eBays policy that they agreed to then they'll blame it on Yahoo boys.

At last, my payment finally refunded.

drakeskull: At last, my payment finally refunded.

Of course it would be refunded.

eBay is an American company and one thing no organization like that would play with is governmental intervention for fraud.

If possible in the future get the PayPal credit card. You will get paid immediately after you sell and refunds happen quickly too.

Congratulations so when are you doing your next ebay shopping?
